As you’re all aware this is our last week with Woxy.com. The beloved online radio station is taking a Future Of Rock And Roll “victory lap” by repeating its Modern Rock 500.

We’ll playback 100 ‘laps’ per day, starting Monday at 9am ET, and resuming Tues-Friday at 9am until we reach #1 sometime after 4pm on Friday.

As this was our signature event for so many years, the last two of which were pre-recorded, it gives us a final opportunity to share music with you that helped to define 97X/WOXY.com through our 23 year existence.

Thanks for all the great music, Woxy!

Check out the 500 at woxy.com/vintage.

    A few years ago I called Babs to request a song to play for a girl, and after she played it she said she felt like Chuck Woolery and totally called me out.

    It didn’t work. WOXY will be missed.

  7. The MR500 countdown is spinning only on the WOXY Vintage stream. You can check out the listen link from here:

    Otherwise, the regular WOXY stream will be playing the regular new stuff through Friday afternoon. We’re expecting to sign off before 5pm eastern.

    Shiv! *hugs* I wish all of you guys the best.

    I’m going to miss the hell out of WOXY. Funny, since I discovered it on accident last summer whenever interning for some booking agents. I’ve been hooked since and have discovered a lot of artists I’ve grown to love through it (Editors, We Are Scientists, Guillemots, to name a few). WOXY will be sorely missed. Thanks for a great run.

  9. It appeared in one of the local Twin Cities newspapers that Barb from WOXY will be taking the 9-Noon slot (and Music Director) at ‘The Current’ in the Twin Cities.

    The station is very freeform and she will fit right in.

  11. Idolater brought me up to speed this morning on new developments with WOXY.

    Looks like after today WOXY may be alive and kicking once again.

  12. The guys over at CD-trading service “La La” have indeed announced that they have agreed to purchase and revive WOXY. Hooray!
